Hours of enjoyment await with this big book of origami fun. Whether
you're an experienced paperfolder or you're just entering the origami
world, you'll find 37 captivating models galore right here, in all their
well-illustrated glory. Robert J. Lang, a veteran origami artist,
accompanies his step-by-step directions with more than 1,000 detailed
drawings, plus a photograph of the finished model. Start with a
kangaroo, a nun, a rocket, or a bust of King Tut. Advance to a
dragonfly, a dinosaur, a winged Pegasus, or a cicada. By the end, you'll
be making action folds — models with moving parts that re-create
flapping birds, rowing ships, and fiddling violinists. The author
includes an introduction to the history of origami, plus helpful hints
on tools and materials and a key to the folding symbols.
